In what organizers called an ‘Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage’, the two statues were torn down in the space of 10 minutes by protesters who toppled the monuments and defaced the plinths in Portland.

Donald Trump today raged at the ‘animals’ who tore down statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt in Portland last night as rioting returned to the city on the eve of Columbus Day.

Trump condemned the protesters as ‘Antifa radicals’ and ‘Biden fools’, urging the FBI to ‘get them’ and calling on Portland to send for federal troops.

‘Put these animals in jail, now,’ said Trump. ‘The Radical Left only knows how to take advantage of very dumb ‘leadership’ fools. This is Biden! Law & Order!’

The shooting victim was not named by authorities and died at a nearby hospital. But his son identified the man on Sunday to the Denver Post as Lee Keltner, a 49-year-old U.S. Navy veteran who operated a hat-making business in the Denver area.

“He wasn’t a part of any group,” Johnathon Keltner told the newspaper. “He was there to rally for the police department and he’d been down there before rallying for the police department.”

Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse called Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett a “judicial torpedo” aimed at the Affordable Care Act in his opening statement Monday, joining a number of his Democratic colleagues in framing the confirmation of the conservative judge as an attack against the Obama-era health care law.

The bridge, which spans the Parkway East to link the city’s Greenfield neighborhood to Schenley Park, closed at 7 a.m. Sept. 21.

The Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure had estimated the thoroughfare would be closed to drivers and pedestrians until Oct. 21.

“Mosites Construction Co., the contractor who built the bridge, addressed several outstanding issues to ensure the longevity of the structure,” Tim McNulty, spokesman for Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, said Sunday in a statement.

The contractor’s crews milled the concrete deck of the bridge and installed a new concrete surface to prevent water from seeping into the bridge deck. The bridge’s east barrier, which had been flaking and peeling, got fresh protective coating.
